The cover coincided with Gaga’s debut performance of “Hey Girl,” their Joanne collab, in Barcelona<\/p>\n
\n\tFlorence and the Machine<\/a> had the perfect Halloween-themed performance for their visit to SiriusXM. Backed by a stunning harp, Florence Welch delivered a mashup of 2015\u2019s \u201cWhich Witch\u201d and Lady Gaga<\/a>\u2018s Mayhem favorite \u201cAbracadabra.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWelch opened with her heresy-referencing How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful song, followed by an evocative fiddle-flute transition into the Gaga track. The band concluded the performance by returning to \u201cWhich Witch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe timing of the cover couldn\u2019t have been more kismet. During her Mayhem Ball Tour stop in Barcelona Wednesday night, Lady Gaga snuck in \u201cHey Girl,\u201d<\/a> her duet with Welch from 2016\u2019s Joanne. It was Gaga\u2019s first time performing the song live.<\/p>\n \n\tIn an interview<\/a> last month, Welch spoke about her love for Gaga\u2019s early music. \u201cIn 2009, I was only listening to Lady Gaga, that was it,\u201d she told Triple J. \u201cWhether I would listen to this [album, Everybody Scream], I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBack in 2016, Gaga also shared her appreciation for Welch after their time working together. \u201cFlorence and I, when we were working together, we laughed, we cried, we hugged each other,\u201d Gaga said<\/a> to Elvis Duran, adding in a later Heat Radio interview<\/a>: \u201cHer voice is sensational. She\u2019s one of the greatest singers in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n
